   Haha.. the only nurse I know that swears constantly is this charge nurse in a TCU at my old hospital. She used to intimidate the hell out of the nurses to the point the victimized nurses would cry only to have the same charge nurse apologize to them ...

6. Telemetry?

   91WhiskeyM6 replied to AnnaPohoralova's topic in Cardiac

   Just remember that if the pt is asymptomatic, that "one time " 3 beat V-tach doesn't mean squat.

7. Transporting Telemetry Patients off the unit

   91WhiskeyM6 replied to CV CNS CCRN's topic in Cardiac

   Not only that, you have to tell the teletech to configure the tele computer for transport. Otherwise, when the patient's in the elavator, the tele computer will be alarming the whole time and it will start printing strips like crazy. This is only if ...

11. What's the hardest shift to work in?

    91WhiskeyM6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My vote's for swing shift with am shift a close second. Nights is the dullest shift. I've worked in SNF, Long Term, Medical Surgical, and Intensive Care for 14 years, so that's my experience with those 3 shifts. Keep in mind that I've never worked 12...

12. Mandatory meetings and night shift

    91WhiskeyM6 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric

    Yeah, and all your patients are asleep in bed. That means no ADL's, hardly any meds (hopefully all your Restorils have been passed), not as much call lights, no meal trays, no absurd amount of phone calls, and so on. You also don't have visitors bugg...

13. My shift sucked last night.

    91WhiskeyM6 posted a topic in Geriatric

    Yesterday, I had one resident who past on around dinner time and I had to watch her only friend/family in the whole world breakdown at her bedside. And just before my shift ended, I had one resident fall so bad, she landed on the back of her skull. I...

14. The Pain Scale - too subjective IMO

    91WhiskeyM6 replied to FZ1Tom's topic in General Nursing

    The pain scale should just be from 1 to 3 with 1 being mild and 3 being severe. What's the freaking difference between 6 and 7 ?

15. Career decision????

    91WhiskeyM6 replied to Rn2b204's topic in Government
